Nice colours
It's a nice kit, well put together and excellent instructions. I just started it and it's my first time using the wool/acrylic thread. It's different - not in a bad way, just feels odd compared to the usual DMC cotton. Two things though:
1) I found the supplied needle too thick of a gauge to fit through the 14 count Aida with the wool/acrylic thread. I used a more slender needle and it seems to be easier.
2) When Riolis created this kit, I really wish they had supplied two charts, one showing the outlining and one without it. The chart is in colour and some of the shades are quite similar. The outlining occasionally covers up the symbol and you have to look closely to ensure you are stitching the correct colour.
I am looking forward to finishing it, as I have the perfect frame for it!
